Today I also learned that 17 and a half years of being "the good kid" worked to my advantage--my mom isn't suspicious of me at all.

That was and still is the same for me, totally worth it

Today I learned that the word "jumper" in refernence to something similar to a hoody but without the hood, is actually not actually a term used in all english speaking countries. I also learned that 'jumper' can also mean (in related to clothing) a sleevless dress that you put over other clothes.

We may fail alone, but that is better than dying with them, only to be forgotten. I for one, would rather suffer now, than leave this life without passion.

TIL that for once, just once, I'm nearly finished working on a novel that is actually fashionable! I thought my take on steampunk-horror would be too weird to be considered. Then I looked up Snow Books in this year's Writers & Artists Yearbook. I looked up the site (www.snowbooks.com) this morning an lo! they are publishing some bloke's second novel in a series of steampunk-horror books. I am riding the Zeitgeist! Though to be fair it doesn't look like his novels have werewolf conspiracy cults, ghoul bodybreakers attacking things with shovels or mad scientists half possessed by ghosts.*ADDENDUM*Just to clarify the ghoul with the gravedigger's shovel, Gizzards Tom, is not a rip off of St. Jenny. Back when I first joined this forum way back my first post was a thread called "What is it with shovels these days?" Great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ.

Heh, I remember that thread, it ended up degenerating into an anti Xombi rant if I recall.
